Summary and Pipeline

We aim to discover and develop medicines that are transformational for patients

We are developing potential best-in-class orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) agonists intended to be orally administered for the treatment of sleep-wake disorders including narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in neurological, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric conditions. We anticipate that our orexin agonists may have utility in treating impaired attention, cognitive deficits, fatigue and other symptoms. We also have an immuno-oncology program focused on our LockBody® technology platform.

 

 

Centessa’s team is made up of pioneers in their fields working to advance our core programs. Read more on the inspiring stories of the continuing journeys from vision to transformational medicines below.

Orexin Receptor 2 Agonist Program

Trained as a bioengineer, Dr. Mario Alberto Accardi, President of the Centessa Orexin Program, saw the opportunity to use structure-based drug design to disrupt the conventional approach to treating sleep-wake disorders, EDS, impaired attention, cognitive deficits, fatigue and other symptoms.

LockBody® Technology Platform in Oncology

Dr. William Finlay, President of the Centessa LockBody Program and a widely published expert on antibody engineering, developed the LockBody® technology platform with the goal to redefine immuno-oncology treatment for patients with cancer.

SerpinPC

Overview
SerpinPC is a subcutaneously administered novel inhibitor of APC being developed as a potential treatment for hemophilia, regardless of severity or inhibitor status, and may also prevent bleeding associated with other bleeding disorders. Centessa is advancing the registrational program for SerpinPC in hemophilia B, which includes a set of clinical studies with multiple components. PRESent-5, initiated in late 2022, is an observational feeder study to collect prospective observational data for minimum defined periods before switching to dosing subjects in the interventional studies. The interventional studies include PRESent-2 (moderately severe to severe hemophilia B without inhibitors, and severe hemophilia A with and without inhibitors) and PRESent-3 (hemophilia B with inhibitors). Additional information on the trials can be accessed at www.clinicaltrials.gov  (NCT05605678NCT05789524NCT05789537). SerpinPC is an investigational agent that has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory authority.
